Greater Faridabad — Neharpar, the newer town on the south-eastern side of the city — is where most of Faridabad's recent apartment building has happened. New apartments arrive empty, and the furnishing that goes into them is specified by an interior designer, ordered by a furnishing studio, or bought in bulk by an operator fitting out serviced apartments. That is the buyer this page is written for.
Quick answer: Compact Buying Services supplies a 26% Himalayan hemp / 74% Tencel™ blend from our Sector 35 office to interior designers, furnishing studios and serviced-apartment operators working in Greater Faridabad. Swatches are free. Whether a given construction is right for your curtains, cushions or light upholstery is something we confirm against the application before you order, rather than assume.
Home textiles ask different questions of a fabric than garments do. A dress is assessed on drape and colour. A curtain is assessed on how it falls across a window and how much light it lets through. A cushion is assessed on abrasion and whether it will pill after a year of being sat on. A sofa seat is assessed on all of that, plus cleanability. Those are the questions this page answers, along with what the cloth will not do. The team behind it runs independent AQL garment inspection, which is why we tend to talk about wear and cleanability rather than only about hand feel.
This page is written for the single-project designer — one apartment, one client, one set of curtains and a small run of cushions. If the project is a building rather than a room, the multi-unit fit-out case is covered on the Neharpar page, where the questions are about contractor coordination, phased delivery and replacement reserves rather than client swatch presentations and maker cut sheets.
Because the client has asked for a natural fibre and would prefer not to be told it is cotton again — and hemp gives an interior a texture and a story that a plain cotton or a polyester furnishing cloth does not.
Interior clients in the newer developments are usually specific about what they want and quick to notice when they are being sold a standard answer. They have read the same articles everyone has read, they have been told about microplastics in synthetic upholstery, and they want the soft furnishing in their home to hold up as a natural choice rather than an aesthetic one.
Hemp answers that in a way that cotton does not. The fibre grows quickly, needs little water, and biodegrades at the end of its life. Those are facts a designer can put in a project note, and they are the sort of facts a client remembers when they are showing the flat to a friend.
The texture helps too. Hemp has an irregular surface that catches light differently from cotton, which reads as warm and lived-in rather than showroom-flat. In an apartment full of new, hard surfaces, that is a real design benefit rather than a marketing line.
Cushion covers, throws, table linen and light curtains are the natural fits for this blend; heavier upholstery and high-traffic seating have to be confirmed against a specific construction before order.
This is the section to read carefully, because it is where a furnishing buyer can go wrong. The cloth we describe on this page is a 26% Himalayan hemp and 74% Tencel™ blend. It is smooth, it drapes, and it takes colour well. What it is not is a heavy upholstery cloth by default. The right construction for the piece has to be matched to the application.
Do not oversell hemp as a cotton substitute — the client who expected smooth and got textured will notice on the first touch, and the relationship will not survive that disappointment.
A single-project designer has one client to satisfy, and the swatch presentation is often the decision point that determines whether the rest of the project runs smoothly. That conversation goes better when the designer has already handled the cloth enough to speak about it accurately, and worse when they are translating a description rather than a memory.
The honest way to present this cloth to a client who asked for a natural fibre.
Three practical notes from the client conversations that usually go wrong. First, do not present the cloth under a different light from where it will hang — a swatch held under a daylight LED and then installed under warm incandescent bulbs is a client who rings you the next day. Second, do not present the cloth without the care note, because the client's first question is usually how they look after it and an unanswered question is a doubt. Third, do not present it as the only option if cotton or linen would genuinely serve the room better; a designer who can recommend the simpler answer earns the next project more reliably than one who always sells the premium one.
If the client wants a natural-fibre story for a project note, the three sentences that hold up are: the fibre is grown above 1,800 metres in the Himalayan foothills, hemp grows quickly with little water and biodegrades at the end of its life, and the blend of 74% Tencel™ with the 26% hemp gives the cloth a drape that pure hemp does not have. That covers origin, sustainability and behaviour in a way that survives being questioned.
A single-project designer can afford the time to test properly — four checks on a cutting length cost an hour and settle decisions that would otherwise come back to bite on installation day.
On a multi-unit project the sampling decisions have to be made quickly because there is a schedule to hold. On a single room, the designer has a luxury that the fit-out team does not — the time to actually test the cloth before committing. That time is worth taking, and it takes less of it than people assume.
Ask for a cutting length, not a swatch. A hand-sized swatch is enough to judge colour and general hand, but it is not enough to make up a sample cushion, hang a short length against a window, or run a wash test that produces a meaningful measurement. A metre cutting length is what a single-project designer should ask for, and there is no charge beyond the courier.
Four checks to run on the cutting length before you commit.
Two practical notes on top of the four checks. First, keep the unwashed offcut alongside the washed one and photograph them side by side — that photograph becomes the reference if a question ever arises about how the cloth behaved. Second, run the tests before you quote the client rather than after, because a quote given on an untested swatch is a quote you may have to walk back.
Interior orders are quoted against the project, not the metre — tell us the apartments, the pieces and the handover dates, and the delivery can be phased to match.
A fitting-out project is a different animal from a fabric purchase. An apartment handover comes with a date attached, and the furnishings have to land in the right order — usually the curtains before the client moves in, the cushions close behind, and the throws last. Getting the sequence wrong costs a re-visit and a missed date.
So the conversation starts with the schedule. Tell us how many apartments or rooms the project covers, what is going into each, and when each piece needs to be on site. From there we can confirm what can be consolidated into one delivery and what needs to be phased, and where the natural cut-off points sit for the dye lot.
Two practical points. First, dye lot consistency matters more in a project than in a garment run, because two cushions made from different lots can sit on the same sofa. Confirm the quantities up front and reserve against a single lot where possible. Second, a furnishing order has less flexibility than a garment order on timing, so tell us the hard date early rather than at the end.
If the project also involves uniforms, staff aprons or soft goods for a serviced apartment, the same order can usually cover both the furnishing and the apparel side. Tell us the whole scope at the start and it saves a second conversation later.
The blend is a fixed 26% hemp and 74% Tencel™ lyocell; the construction, weight and finish are confirmed against your application before order, because furnishing and apparel need different cloths.

Against cotton it holds texture and resists pilling better, against polyester it breathes and tells a natural-fibre story, and against linen it creases less while keeping the same natural read.
| Furnishing cloth | What the hemp blend offers that it does not |
|---|---|
| Cotton canvas or duck | More texture, less pilling in high-contact spots, and a fibre story cotton cannot carry. Slightly more drape in lighter constructions. |
| Polyester upholstery | Breathes, does not shed microfibres in the wash, and supports a genuine natural-fibre claim in the project note. |
| Linen | Less creasing across a curtain and less of a "holiday house" read. Both have a natural surface; this one feels softer from day one. |
| Viscose furnishing cloth | Better abrasion resistance and a stronger sustainability case. Viscose has drape but not the durability. |
| Pure hemp canvas | Softer and more refined. Pure hemp reads as a utility cloth; this blend reads as a furnishing fabric. |
Put five things in writing at the cut stage — cut sheet, seam finishing, nap direction, interfacing and shrinkage — and the maker will not ring you halfway through the batch.
A furnishing project is only as good as the maker who puts it together, and the maker works best when they have the information before the first cut rather than after the first mistake. Most of what a maker needs is standard, but a natural-fibre blend asks for a few specific notes that a cotton or a polyester would not, and those notes are worth making explicit.
Five things worth giving the curtain maker or upholsterer in writing, on paper, at the cut stage.
Two practical notes on the working relationship. First, if the maker has not worked with a natural-fibre blend before, send them a metre of the cloth before the batch arrives so they can run a test seam, check the needle and see how it behaves. That metre is cheaper than the rework from a seam that puckers on the first panel. Second, confirm the delivery date with the maker before you confirm it with the client — a client promised a date that the maker cannot hold is a client who does not trust the next date either.
Washable pieces take a gentle 30°C wash with soapnut or mild soap and should be line dried in shade; fixed upholstery must have its cleaning method confirmed before the piece is made up.
On limits, plainly: at 26% the hemp still gives the cloth a texture, and that texture is the point rather than a defect. It is not a uniform, factory-flat surface and it should not be sold as one. If a client wants a perfectly smooth, completely uniform furnishing cloth, a cotton or a linen is the simpler answer, and saying so is what keeps a designer coming back for the next project. Where a construction is not right for the piece, we would rather decline the order than sell you a sofa cover that will not last.
Each lot is checked against the approved swatch for blend, construction, width, shade, surface and packing, with photographs sent before dispatch.
This page is prepared by the Compact Buying Services team at Sector 35, Faridabad, which also provides independent AQL garment inspection across Delhi NCR.
Three things leave with the client — the care note, a spare metre of each construction and the labelled swatch — and they take up almost no space while making the second project easier than the first.
On a single project the handover is often treated as a formality. It is not, because the people who will look after the fabric six months later are the client and their housekeeping staff, not the designer and not the maker. Whatever they will need to make a decision about the cloth — a replacement, a wash, a spot clean — has to have left the studio with them, or the designer will get a call in year two that could have been avoided.
Three items worth leaving with the client at handover.
Two further notes. First, take a photograph of the finished room with the fabric visible and keep it in the project file. Two years on, if the client asks about a colour match, that photograph will settle the question faster than any written record. Second, do a follow-up at six months — a quick check on how the cloth has worn, whether the client is happy with how it looks, and whether the care note was followed. It is a five-minute call that turns a one-off project into a repeat client, and it is the kind of small thing that separates a designer whose clients come back from one whose clients do not.
Our Sector 35 office serves the Greater Faridabad sectors and apartment developments along the Neharpar belt, with deliveries scheduled against the project rather than the working week.
Greater Faridabad, often called Neharpar or the new town, is the planned belt that spread south and east of the old city as the apartment developments went up. It covers the higher-numbered sectors — broadly the seventies through to the nineties and beyond — along with the residential townships built by BPTP, Omaxe, SRS and Eldeco and the commercial corridors that grew up alongside them, including the Omaxe World Street area.
For a furnishing project the delivery is usually phased against the fit-out rather than made in one drop. Tell us the development, the tower and the handover date when you enquire, and we can confirm the schedule for the curtains first, the cushions next and the throws last. Site access rules in the newer developments differ from one another, so it helps to know which one you are working in.
We also deliver to New Faridabad, Old Faridabad, NIT, Ballabhgarh and the rest of Faridabad, as well as to Gurugram, Delhi, Noida and the wider NCR. Sample packs are dispatched worldwide for designers working on projects outside India.
For export cargo, shipments from Faridabad are commonly routed through the Inland Container Depot at Tughlakabad in Delhi towards Jawaharlal Nehru Port, while Indira Gandhi International Airport handles air freight and courier samples.
A full list of every Faridabad area we supply is on the areas we serve page.
If your project is somewhere in the Neharpar belt not mentioned above, tell us the address and the schedule. Greater Faridabad is compact enough that very little falls outside a normal delivery run.
Yes. Deliveries run to the Greater Faridabad and Neharpar sectors, the apartment developments along the Mathura Road corridor and the surrounding residential belts, as well as to the rest of Faridabad and the wider NCR. Delivery is confirmed against the project address and quantity you provide.
It depends on the construction you need, not only on the fibre. The 26% hemp and 74% Tencel™ blend is described on this page at a general level, and heavier constructions for curtains, cushions and light upholstery have to be confirmed against the specific application. Tell us what the piece is for and we will say plainly whether a suitable construction is available, rather than sell you a dress weight for a sofa.
Do not oversell it as cotton with a better story — that conversation fails the first time the client feels the cloth. Present it honestly: it is a 26% Himalayan hemp blend with Tencel™, it has a natural texture that cotton does not, and it softens with washing. Most clients respond well to that because it is what they asked for when they asked for a natural fibre. The client who wanted a perfectly smooth surface is better served by cotton, and saying so protects the relationship.
Four tests, and none of them take long. Pinch a fold between finger and thumb and release to judge the crease recovery. Hold a length against a window to judge drape and light transmission for a curtain. Rub a swatch hard against a hard edge to test abrasion and pilling for a cushion or seat. Wash a small piece at 30°C and measure it against the original to confirm shrinkage. Run all four before you quote the client, not after.
Five things worth putting in writing. The cut sheet with width, length and shrinkage. The seam finishing expected — an overlock is usually enough, French seams for lighter weights where the inside will be seen. The nap or surface direction, because the hemp texture reads differently when a panel is cut against the light. The interfacing expectation — a light fusible is usually enough, a heavy one fights the drape. And the shrinkage figure confirmed from the wash test, not assumed. A maker who has that in writing at the cut stage is a maker who does not ring you halfway through.
Yes, and for interior work it is worth asking. A standard swatch is enough to judge the hand and the shade, but a metre is enough to make up a single cushion or hang a short length against a window. For a project where the client is making a final decision, ask for a cutting length rather than a swatch, and we will send one. There is no charge beyond the courier, and the client conversation is easier with a real piece in hand than a business-card-sized square.
Three things. The care note, so the client knows what process the cloth will survive and what will damage it. A spare metre of each construction, because the piece that gets stained two years later is easier to replace from a stored metre than from a new order. And the swatch itself, labelled with the lot number, so that if a replacement is ever needed the client can produce something to match against. All three take up almost no space and they are what makes the second project easier than the first.
Yes. Interior projects are quoted on their own terms, against the number of apartments or rooms, the pieces involved and the delivery schedule. Send the project scope with your enquiry and we will confirm what can be supplied and how the order can be phased against the handover dates.
Send the reference colour or Pantone with your enquiry and we will confirm whether it can be matched on this blend and what it adds to the timeline. For interior work the shade is approved on a dyed swatch under the lighting it will be seen in, because a colour that reads well in daylight can look entirely different under warm interior lighting.
Minimums depend on the construction, the finish and the current lot rather than on the type of buyer, so we do not publish a single figure. Sample swatches are free and there is no minimum to request them. Send the pieces and approximate quantities and we will confirm the smallest workable order for that specification.
Ask for a swatch large enough to handle at the size the piece will be seen. Hold a curtain length against a window to judge how it falls and how much light it lets through. Rub an upholstery swatch hard against a hard edge to test abrasion and pilling. Then confirm the wear expectations with us before you commit, because a fabric that works for a cushion cover and one that works for a sofa seat are not the same thing.
Wash gently at 30°C with a soapnut solution or mild natural soap, line dry in shade, iron on medium heat while the cloth is still slightly damp, and never bleach. For fixed upholstery that cannot be washed, confirm the cleaning method with us before the piece is made up, because the safest approach depends on the construction rather than the fibre alone.
Yes, if the constructions are available for each piece. Tell us the full list — curtains, cushion covers, throws and any light upholstery — with the quantities and the colour direction, and we will confirm what can be consolidated into a single project order and delivered together.
Light fastness depends on the dye used and the construction, not on hemp alone. For curtains and any piece that will sit in direct sun, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will confirm the light-fastness expectation for the lot and dye method before you commit to the project. Approving the swatch after it has sat near a window for a week is a sensible extra check.
Neharpar and Greater Faridabad are the same place, and the same cloth is supplied from the same Sector 35 office. The difference is the buyer. This page is written for interior designers and furnishing studios working on single projects — one apartment, one client, one set of curtains. The Neharpar page is written for buyers fitting out multiple units at once, where the questions are about contractor coordination, building-scale costing, replacement reserves and handover documentation. Start here for a single project; use the Neharpar page when the project is a building rather than a room.
Both are supplied from the same office and describe the same hemp blend. The New Faridabad page is written for fashion designers and small studios working in apparel. This page is written for interior designers, furnishing studios and serviced-apartment operators working in home textiles, where the questions are about abrasion, cleanability, light fastness and project scheduling rather than drape on a garment.
